[seqfan] Re: Sum of a binary power and an odd prime power

[Ray Chandler]

I like your description better, but I think j>=0 is more consistent with A061345.

I can send you what I computed, but would like to have the author join the discussion to see if I've missed his intent.


Sequences A115231-233 are consistent with the terms of A115230 as listed.
